Silas Demary Visit

[jibsey]

So all the chips are thrown in on him? We don’t get him there are no other choices just as good?

 

[ToolzieFan]

St John's "insider" on "X" says that they have landed him and he is just pulling a Cooper Flagg visit to UConn.

What exactly is “pulling a Cooper Flagg visit to UConn”? I don’t think there was anything insincere or nefarious about Flagg’s visit, and I doubt Demary is a lifelong St. John’s fan.

He is the first visitor. There will be others

There will be plenty of other guys in the portal, I assume. We know three all of our chips in on Nick Timberlake before settling on Cam Spencer.

Excellent point.

Newton was also what I call an elite closer. A guy who can take over a game in the closing minutes, score on-ball, get to the rim and convert on the free-throw line if fouled.

In his last season at UConn, Newton had a 47.4 FT Rate (186th in the nation) and hit 81% of hit FTAs.

Last year, Demary's FT Rate was 48.2 (186th in the nation) and he made 80.4% of his FTAs, so there's a huge similarity there and in UConn's system, he'd be a capable PG with elite closer potential.

Demary's 3.1 APG looks low for a PG, but Georgia was just 285th in the nation w/ a 47.8 A/FGM ratio. When Newton was at East Carolina, their A/FGM ratio was 63.1%, which was 5th in the nation, so there were many more opportunities for Newton to dish to his teammates.

Hurley's offensive system moves the ball beautifully, so if Demary ends up at UConn, which I would love, he'd have career highs in assists, for sure.

I missed him so much. TN I mean.

Not to nit pick, but we actually have 80 minutes of minutes available at pg!!

I, uh, don't think that's how time works.

He did a lot better than Reed and his defense against smaller guards was really good by end of the year.

He was real good down the stretch his best run as a Husky. As a back up he will definitely be missed not too many teams have someone that solid. He was better than Reed on the hedge but for me forcing a defender like Reed to even go out that far is ridiculous. But being better off the hedge and not being a good rebounder doesn’t make him a lot better at all. Rebounding is part of all around defense and Reed was a ton better there. Again, lucky to have a solid 1-2 again this year. Hopefully we continue that trend.

Is he a real insider or a wannabe?

we lost Diarra and Aidan. I think that means we lost our top two ball handlers sweetheart.

That’s crazy, didn’t realize both of them played every minute of every game

Did they both play 40 minutes a game, dear??

I love it. When in doubt, double down.

All this talk about whether or not Demary can play point because of his 3 apg last year, has anybody watched enough games of his to judge whether he is a very good passer or not, or whether the Georgia offense wasn't suited to a lot of assists? Maybe he is a very good passer, but only averaged 3 apg because he was score first and/or the offense was mostly iso.

If nobody can say yes, I'm sure the staff has .

Georgia's offense is very iso heavy, they were 285th in A/FGM. UConn was 4th as a reference

Great, now it’s 120 PG minutes we need to replace!

 

[Gurleyman]

Great, now it’s 120 PG minutes we need to replace!

We could play a two point guard offense. Then it really would be 80.

Where are we gonna find 200 minutes?!

I think he was suggesting that the decision was already made then and maybe now. Hopefully he is wrong

Doesn't the kid have like a dozen schools on his list, including (recently very deep pocketed) BYU? I would be stunned if he made his decision already and won't look into other possibilities.

I love that this place is free.

Me too but you never know. They hit his number and who knows...

Hum, maybe I need to take math 101 again.

We can offer 80 PG minutes every 2 games. What program can beat that!?!?

Just when you think this place can’t get any stupider

Although I really want to pile on for this one, let's keep it to Demary going forward.
